Description: Dora Lawrence accompanied her father Stephen on a visit to the family estate in Herefordshire. Here she would meet her cousins for the first time, sample an utterly different way of life to her own. At first repelled by fox-hunting, Dora became grimly determined to embrace rural pursuits when Ralph Challoner entered her life. Ralph, tall and commanding, overwhelmed her senses. Dora's visit lengthened into months as she fell under his spell. Even Ralph's inexplicable flashes of cruelty would not deter her from her belief that she had found love.
